Aaron Alexis (pictured right), opened fire
and killed 12 people on Monday morning September 16th at the Washington Naval Yard in Washington DC before being
shot and killed by responding officers. The 34-year-old
who worked as a civilian I.T contractor at the military base, entered the complex's cafeteria around 8.30am brandishing
an AR-15 semi-automatic rifle, shotgun and handgun and began shooting.
It is thought that he used another
employee of the base's identification card to gain entry to the heavily
secured Building 197, where he carried out his deadly attack. Aaron killed 12 people and injured at least 15, who are all in critical conditions.
Aaron, from Fort Worth Texas,
served in
the U.S. Navy for almost four years before being kicked out in January
2011 for 'misconduct'. The motive for the killing has not been revealed
though there are speculations that it could be connected to his
dismissal from the U.S. Navy. RIP to those who lost their lives. Read
